Don't be too confused by my use of the word "send". I am aware of the use of command line thingy... I know that one is supposed to "send" (or "process" / "invoke") IPC commands by starting secondary TB's from the command line; ie. "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\TheBat.EXE" /EXIT etc. My point is this: For no reason, TB may at any time simply stop looking for thebat.IPC - and thus TB won't know of the _future_ commands you "send" it (by the way of the command line). (In fact, you don't even have to use _command_line_ method - you may simply create the file (thebat.IPC) manually - just make sure the syntax is correct and "here we go".) -- St ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
